The question
To ask the Scottish Government what steps it has taken in response to the Young Carers Covenant, which was launched by the Carers Trust in 2024, and made a commitment to improve the lives of young carers, including supporting the covenant in achieving its 10 desired outcomes.
The answer
As promised in the Scottish Parliament debate on Young Carers Action Day on 14 March 2024, I have tasked my officials with looking at the feasibility of the Scottish Government committing to the Young Carer Covenant. The Covenant’s overarching principles are cross policy in nature, and touch on many aspects of the Scottish Government work.This work is ongoing. I will write to the member to advise her of the outcome.
